First up, I had my chiropractic adjustment. Then I had my half-yearly dental
checkup. Then I got stuck into cleaning the house. Fortunately I'd done a bit
the afternoon before, otherwise I'd never have gotten it done before my
massage. I'm starting to seriously consider getting a cleaner. I can make much
better use of the limited time I get than cleaning the house.

Zoe's Kindergarten has a Parent Advisory Group or something like that, which
meets monthly. I wasn't able to attend the first one, but the second one was
today, about an hour before pickup, so I grabbed a quick lunch after my massage
and biked over to Kindergarten early.

The meeting wasn't particularly interesting. The majority of it revolved around
fund raising.

At pickup time, Zoe was fast asleep again, and had another massive meltdown
when I woke her up. It took forever to get her out. She wanted to give Megan a
hug, but Megan had long gone. Then, rather fortuitously, Megan's Dad texted me
to tell me they were in the playground on the neighbouring school grounds, so I
managed to use that as an incentive to get Zoe moving.

I didn't know until today, but at the foothill of the neighbouring primary
school, there's some play equipment. A few of the Kindergarten kids seem to
have a play over there after Kindergarten. Megan and Zoe played there for a bit
before it was time to go.

Once we got home, we unpacked and then walked down to the Hawthorne Garage to
get some vegetables, and then, after buying some milk from the corner store and
another grumpy meltdown, I figured a quiet afternoon was in order, so Zoe
watched a DVD for a bit while I prepared dinner.

I'd bumped into the mother of Zoe's friends Eva and Layla from her old day care
while I was at the dentist in the morning, and arranged for her to drop by to
pick up a copy of the photos I'd taken at their 4th birthday party. I'd hoped
that she'd bring the girls with her, and had told Zoe they'd be dropping by,
but unfortunately she came on the way to picking them up from day care, so Zoe
was a bit disappointed. We did arrange to have them over for dinner next
Friday, so I'm sure that will be very exciting.

After that, we had dinner, and a fairly uneventful bedtime. It's hot again, so
I hope that doesn't mess with her sleep.
